(6) - 2015 Las Rozas Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Valle Central, Chile 750ml
2015 Las Rozas Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Valle Central, Chile
This wine is a clear ruby color packed with aromas of blackcurrant, spice, and toast. On the palate, a structured body with varietal characteristic notes of black cherry, violet and baking spices lead up to a smooth, lasting finish.
Food Pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile wine for pairing. It works especially well with lean cuts of steak such as flank steak. For this Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, try a pairing with a traditional Chilean dish, such as empanadas.
Vineyards: Chile boasts near ideal conditions for viticulture. With the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes Mountains to the east, vineyards sit at high elevations, benefiting from a long, sunny growing season without drying out or over-ripening in excessive heat. Cabernet Sauvignon vines grow particularly well in this environment. In 2015, Chile experienced an atypical growing season, with hotter than average temperatures leading up to harvest time in March, which brought record-breaking amounts of rain. Winemakers in some places struggled to bring grapes in during this time while others were grateful for the relief in the vineyards. Despite the turbulent weather, quality was generally high. Harvest for Las Rozas Cabernet Sauvignon began in mid-April. Grapes were fermented at warm temperatures – approximately 77 degrees Fahrenheit – to extract tannins and anthocyanins.

Founder and CEO, Bruce Cunningham, has been in the wine industry since 1987. After earning an undergraduate degree in Wine Marketing Studies at the University of Adelaide (South Australia), Bruce attended business school and has been involved in many aspects of the industry with a specific focus in packaging and production. After relocating to New York from Australia, he saw the need for custom labels of Australian wines for direct marketing needs in the USA. A W Direct (formerly Aussie Wine Direct), was born. This focus on a market segment was, at the time embryonic, and quickly led to further expansion of both suppliers and various segments of the wine market.
AW Direct relocated to California in 2004, and the team expanded, led by the formidable talents of his business partner, Kimberly Cunningham. Kim - an engineer, and techno-geek at heart - with her experience in running divisions of some of the world’s largest companies, was able to build systems to help create the efficiency needed to allow A W Direct to grow, but also compete in a wine world that can be inflexible and intolerant. As the company grew, Kim enhanced the business by developing a successful team of energetic, challenge-driven people who have the right “moxie” to keep our well-oiled machine running smoothly.
